1 Introduction
1.1 Positioning
The OptiX OSN 8800 T32 and OptiX OSN 8800 T64 are mainly applicable to the backbone
core layers. They are also applicable to the core layers and metropolitan convergence layers.
The OptiX OSN 8800 T32 and OptiX OSN 8800 T64 can be used with the metropolitan
DWDM equipment, SDH equipment, and data communication equipment at the backbone
layer to provide a large-capacity transport channel for services and network egresses. The
OptiX OSN 8800 T32 and OptiX OSN 8800 T64 apply to the long-distance and
large-capacity transmission of nation-level trunk and inter-province trunk to maximally meet
the requirements of large-capacity and ultra-long haul transmission for carriers. In addition,
the OptiX OSN 8800 T32 and OptiX OSN 8800 T64 provide carriers with a stable platform
for multi-service operation and future network capacity expansion.
The OptiX OSN 8800 T32 and OptiX OSN 8800 T64 use dense wavelength division
multiplexing (DWDM) technologies to achieve transparent transmission with multiple
services and large capacity. It not only provides service grooming at the optical layer on a
wavelength basis by using the ROADM technology, but also provides sub-wavelength
grooming based on ODUflex/ODU3/ODU2/ODU1/ODU0. This improves the flexibility in
service grooming and bandwidth utilization to a great extent.
The OptiX OSN 8800 can interconnect with the OptiX OSN 6800/OptiX OSN 3800/OptiX
OSN 1800 to form an end-to-end OTN network. Also, they can interconnect with the OptiX
BWS 1600G to form a WDM network. Typically, the OptiX OSN 8800 is applied to the OTN
network. In addition, the OptiX OSN 8800 can interconnect with the NG SDH/PTN or data
communication equipment to form a hybrid network, realizing a complete transport solution.
This is usually applied to the OCS network. Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 show the position of
the OptiX OSN 8800 T32 and OptiX OSN 8800 T64 in the overall network hierarchy.

High Reliability
The tributary/line separated structure maximizes the return on investment and reduces the
number of spare parts. When service type changes, users only need to replace the tributary
boards but fully reuse the existing line boards. The use of independent line and tributary
boards reduces the number and type of spare parts from N x M to N + M (N, M > 2), thereby
helping operators reduce construction costs.

Electrical-layer boards such as OTU, tributary, and line boards are used to process
electrical-layer signals, and perform conversion between optical and electrical signals.
The OptiX OSN 8800 uses a tributary-line-separate architecture, and a centralized
cross-connect unit to flexibly groom electrical-layer signals at different granularities.
For OptiX OSN 8800, EoO, EoW, Ethernet over SDH (EoS) boards have the L2
processing capabilities, and they can add, strip, and exchange VLAN tags, learn MAC
addresses, and forward packets.
As the control center of the entire system, the system control and communication (SCC)
board cooperates with the network management system (NMS) to manage boards in the
system and to implement inter-subrack communication.
The clock board provides system clock signals and frame header signals to each service
board, and synchronizes the local system time with the upstream system time, achieving
clock and time synchronization.
The power supply and fan systems with a redundancy protection design ensure
highly-reliable equipment operation.
The auxiliary interface board provides functional ports such as clock/time input/output
ports, management serial port, alarm output and cascading ports, and alarm input/output
ports.
Inter-board communication and service cross-connections, clock synchronization, and
power supplies are implemented using the backplane buses. Backplane buses include
control and communication buses, clock buses, and power buses.
There are two types of ETSI 300 mm rear-column cabinets: T63B and N63B. These two types of
cabinets differ in color and door. You can perform an expansion installation on the T63B cabinet based
on the typical configurations of the N63B cabinet.
a: This column lists the number of circuit breakers required on the PDF.
b: The maximum power consumption of the integrated equipment refers to the maximum
power consumption of the cabinet or the maximum heat dissipation capacity of the
integrated equipment. The power consumption of the integrated equipment can not exceed
the maximum power consumption.
In the case of transmission equipment, power consumption is generally transformed into heat
consumption. Hence, heat consumption (BTU/h) and power consumption (W) can be converted to each
other in the formula: Heat consumption (BTU/h) = Power consumption (W) / 0.2931 (Wh).
Power consumption for the typical configuration refers to the average power consumption of the device
in normal scenarios. The maximum power consumption refers to the maximum power consumption of
the device under extreme conditions.

2.2.2 Subrack
The OptiX OSN 8800 T64 and OptiX OSN 8800 T32 take subracks as the basic working
units.
Subracks should be installed in the cabinet with 50 mm spacing above and below to allow
airing. The DC power distribution box in the cabinet supply power to the subrack, and the
subracks has independent power supply. The air circuit breaker has a rated value of 60 A.

Passing through on the client side: The services are input from a client-side port of the
local station and are output through another client-side port. This is, the services are not
transmitted through the fiber line.
Adding and dropping on the client side: The services of the other stations are transmitted
through the fiber to a WDM-side port of the local station, and then are output through a
client-side port, or the client services are input from the local station and are transmitted
to the other stations through the fiber.
Passing through on the line side: The services are not added or dropped at the local
station. The local station functions as a regeneration station and sends the services from
one side of the fiber line to the other side.
The application of electrical layer grooming is shown in Figure 3-2.

3.5 Protection
The OptiX OSN 8800 T32/8800 T64 provides various types of equipment-level protection
and network-level protection.
There are two types of switching for the 1+1 protection switching of cross-connect boards:
Automatic switching
When the service boards detect the abnormal status of cross-connect boards or buses, a
switching is performed automatically. The switching does not need to be performed
manually.
Manual switching
When a switching is required in a test during the normal running of the active and the
standby cross-connect boards, the switching can be performed manually.
When a switching occurs between the cross-connect boards, a switching also occurs between the active
and standby clock boards.
standby clock board automatically takes over the work. Hence, there is no impact on the
normal operation of the equipment.
There are two types of switching for the 1+1 protection switching of STGs:
Automatic switching
The STG detects its own status through hardware or software. If it is in the abnormal
status, a switching is performed automatically. The switching is performed by the board
and no manual operation is required.
Manual switching
When a switching is required in a test during the normal running of the active and the
standby STGs, the switching can be performed manually.
When a switching occurs between the clock boards, a switching also occurs between the active and
standby cross-connect boards.
DC Input Protection
The power supply system supports four -48 V/-60 V DC power inputs for mutual backup in
OptiX OSN 8800 T32 subrack. The power supply system adopts the switched-mode power
supply mode for two areas, that is, the blue-slot area and the yellow-slot area, as shown in
Figure 3-5. Each area is configured with a pair of power supplies of mutual backup: one pair
is IU39 and IU45, and the other pair is IU40 and IU46. The normal operation of the
equipment is not affected in the case of failure of any external input -48 V/-60V power supply.
Figure 3-5 shows the two pairs of power supplies of mutual backup.
The power supply system supports eight -48 V/-60 V DC power inputs for mutual backup in
OptiX OSN 8800 T64 subrack. The subrack adopts switched-mode power supply scheme for
four areas which are shown in Figure 3-6. The area has the same color is defined as one area.
Each area is configured with a pair of power supplies in mutual backup: IU69 and IU78, IU70
and IU79, IU80 and IU88, and IU81 and IU89. The normal operation of the equipment is not
affected in the case of failure of any external input -48 V/-60V power supply. Figure 3-6
shows the four pairs of power supplies of mutual backup.

sure the normal transmission of the important data.
3.6.1 OAM
The OptiX OSN 8800 T32/8800 T64 provides rich OAM functions to monitor services, detect
faults, and identify faults at each service layer.
ETH-OAM
ETH-OAM improves the Ethernet Layer 2 maintenance method and provides powerful
maintenance functions for service connectivity verification, deployment commissioning, and
network fault location.
The ETH-OAM is a protocol based on the MAC layer. It checks Ethernet links by
transmitting OAM protocol packets. The protocol is independent from the transmission
medium. The OAM packets are processed only at the MAC layer, having no impact on other
layers on the Ethernet. In addition, as a low-rate protocol, the ETH-OAM protocol occupies
low bandwidth. Therefore, this protocol does not affect services carried on the link.
Comparison between ETH-OAM and the maintenance and fault locating method on the
existing network:
The current frame test method is based on only the encapsulation format where the same
type of data is contained. This test method is not applicable to other encapsulation
formats (such as GFP encapsulation format and HDLC encapsulation format) where
different types of data is contained.
The current port loopback function focuses on all packets at the port. The loopback
cannot be performed for a specific service selectively.
ETH-OAM can detect hardware faults.
ETH-OAM can detect and locate faults automatically.
Huawei Ethernet service processing boards realize the ETH-OAM function that complies with
IEEE 802.1ag and IEEE 802.3ah. The combination of IEEE 802.1ag and IEEE 802.3ah
provides a complete Ethernet OAM solution.
The IEEE 802.1ag OAM function can be achieved through the continuity test, loopback test,
link trace test, and OAM_Ping test.
The link trace (LT) test is used to locate the faulty point.
The loopback (LB) is used to test the link state bidirectionally.
The continuity check (CC) is used to test the link state unidirectionally.
The OMA_Ping test is used to test the in-service packet loss ratio and hold-off time.
IEEE 802.3ah OAM is realized through the OAM auto-discovery, link performance detection,
fault locating, remote loopback, self-loop test, and loop port shutdown.
The OAM auto-discovery is used to check whether the opposite end supports the IEEE
802.3ah OAM protocol.
The link performance monitoring is used to monitor the BER performance.
The fault detection is used to detect faults and inform the opposite end of the detected
faults.
The remote loopback is used to locate fault test the link performance.
The self-loop test is used to test the self-loop ports.
The loop port shutdown is used to block self-loop ports to solve the port loop problems.
RMON
Remote monitoring (RMON) is intended to monitor performance of Ethernet ports (ports and
VCTRUNK) and collect performance data for fault detection and performance reporting.
RMON supports Ethernet statistics groups and history Ethernet groups as follows:
Ethernet statistics group: supports real-time statistics and query of packet length and
packet status at an Ethernet port.
History Ethernet group: supports statistics and query of history performance data such as
packet length and packet status at an Ethernet port. This enables a user to query the
history statistics data at an Ethernet port in a given period.
Test Frame
Test frames are data packets used to test connectivity of a network that carries Ethernet
services. Test frames are mainly used to commission Ethernet services during deployment and
identify faults of Ethernet services.
Test frames can be encapsulated in GFP packets. The test frames on interconnected boards
must be encapsulated in the same format.
GFP packets: GFP management frame format. The packets are sent along the same path
as GFP management frames.

3.8.5 ODUflex
The OptiX OSN 8800 supports the flexible optical data unit flexible (ODUflex) technique.
Using the ODUflex technique, the OptiX OSN 8800 can adapt itself to various services such
as video, storage, and data services, and is able to provide future IP services.
Introduction to ODUflex
OptiX OSN 8800 T64/T32/T16 of earlier versions supports only four types of ODUk
mappings: ODU0 (1.25G), ODU1 (2.5G), ODU2 (10G), and ODU3 (40G). Services can be
mapped only to fixed bandwidth. Therefore, service mapping is not flexible and bandwidth
waste may result.
ITU-T defines ODUk with flexible bandwidth (ODUflex for short) to avoid bandwidth waste
caused by service mapping.
ODUflex has the following features:
The bandwidth required for ODUflex is about N x bandwidth of each ODTUk timeslot
(1 ≤ N ≤ 8).
The ODTUk timeslot is the basic unit of ODUk frames and each ODTUk timeslot has
the bandwidth of 1.25Gbit/s.
ODTUk timeslots are basic units of ODUk frame signals. That is, ODUflex signals consist of
multiple ODTUk timeslots. Each ODTUk timeslots provides 1.25 Gbit/s bandwidth. One ODU0
signal equals one ODTUk timeslot and ODU1 signal equals two ODTUk timeslots.
For example, when a 3G-SDI service at a rate of 2.97 Gbit/s is received on the client side, the
bandwidth usage is as follows:
When ODUflex is not used for service mapping, the mapping path is 3G-SDI -> ODU2
-> OTU2. In this case, the service occupies all the bandwidth (10 Gbit/s) of ODU2 and
wastes about 7 Gbit/s bandwidth.
When ODUflex is used for service mapping, the mapping path is 3G-SDI -> ODUflex ->
ODU2 -> OTU2. Only three ODTUk timeslots are occupied and the left five ODTUk
timeslots are available for other services. Each ODTUk timeslot provides 1.25 Gbit/s
bandwidth; therefore, 6.25 Gbit/s (5 x 1.25 Gbit/s) bandwidth is saved.
ODUflex Applications
Transport of generic CBR signals
ODUflex can be used to transmit constant bit rate (CBR) services on an optical transport
network (OTN). The services whose CBRs are higher than 2.48832 Gbit/s are mapped to
an ODUflex (CBR) container in bit synchronization mode. Functions such as end-to-end
performance monitoring and protection switching are feasible on the ODUflex (CBR)
container. The overheads and monitoring management modes of ODUflex services and
traditional ODUk (k= 0, 1, 2, 3) are the same. For the application scenarios, see Figure
3-11 and Figure 3-12.
Figure 3-11 shows how ODUflex is used to transport generic CBR signals. An FC400
service occupies four ODTUk timeslots and is mapped to an ODUflex container; a
3G-SDI service occupies three ODTUk timeslots and is mapped to an ODUflex container.
In this way, the FC400 and 3G-SDI services share the same OTU2 wavelength.
Figure 3-12 shows how ODU2 is used to transport generic CBR signals. The FC400 and
3G-SDI services are mapped to different ODU2 containers, and therefore they occupy
different OTU2 wavelengths.

ODUflex Implementation
Figure 3-13 shows how an ODUflex signal is mapped and multiplexed.
1. The client signals are mapped into an OPUflex frame using the bit-synchronous mapping
procedure (BMP) or GPF-F mapping method. The OPUflex frame changes into an
ODUflex frame after it carries an ODUflex frame header.
2. The ODUflex frame is mapped into N ODTUk timeslots by using the generic mapping
procedure (GMP).
3. Multiple ODTUk timeslots are multiplexed into a standard ODUk frame after an ODUk
frame header is inserted.

For the equipment of V100R006C01 or a later version, boards such as the LOA board support
H-L multiplexing and can map a client signal into an ODU2 signal according to the
client->ODU0->ODU2 process. Then the equipment sends the ODU2 signal to the
cross-connect board. The H-L multiplexing process is marked as red in Figure 3-15.

OptiX OSN 8800 T32 and OptiX OSN 8800 T64 extract the timing signals by the following
methods:
Extracts 2M/1.5M timing signals from the external clock interface of an NE.
Extracts timing signals from optical signals that the line board receives.
Pick-up clock signals from the line side of SDH unit.
OptiX OSN 8800 T32 and OptiX OSN 8800 T64 extract input and output of two 75-ohm or
two 120-ohm external clock sources.
OptiX OSN 8800 T32 and OptiX OSN 8800 T64 extract three clock working modes, that is,
the tracing, holdover, and free-run modes. The timing signals from optical signals that 1.5
Mbit/s timing signals, 2 Mbit/s timing signals and the line board receives also process and
transfer synchronization status messages (SSM).
Tracing mode: It is the normal working mode. In this mode, the local clock is
synchronized with the input reference clock signals. An ASON NE not only supports the
traditional clock tracing mode, but also supports the ASON clock tracing mode.
Holdover mode: When all timing reference signals are lost, the clock enters into the
holdover mode. In this mode, the clock takes timing reference from the last frequency
information saved before the loss of timing reference signals. This mode can be used to
cope with an interruption of external timing signals.
Free-run mode: When all timing reference signals are lost and the clock losses the saved
configuration data about the timing reference, the clock starts tracing the internal
oscillator of the NE.
The synchronization process of the physical clock is as follows:
The clock processing module of each NE extracts the clock signals from the serial bit
stream on the line and selects a clock source.
The clock phase-locked loop traces one of the line clocks and generates the system
clock.
The system clock is used as the transmit clock on the physical layer. It is transferred to
the downstream.
The synchronous physical clock has the following features:
The synchronous physical clock is easy to realize and is highly reliable.
The synchronous physical clock adopts the synchronization status information (SSM) to
indicate clock quality and exclusive OAM packets to transfer the SSM.
To achieve PTP clock synchronization, all NEs on the clock link should support the IEEE 1588 v2
protocol.
BMC Algorithm
For the PTP clock, the best master clock (BMC) algorithm is adopted to select the clock
source.
The best master clock (BMC) algorithm compares data describing two or more clocks to
determine which data describes the better clock, and selects the better clock as the clock
source. The BMC algorithm includes the following algorithms:
Data set comparison algorithm: The NE determines which of the clocks is better, and
selects the better clock as the clock source. If an NE receives two or more channels of
clock signals from the same grandmaster clock (GMC), the NE selects one channel of
the clock signals that traverses the least number of nodes as the clock source.
State decision algorithm: The state decision algorithm determines the next state of the
port based on the results of the data set comparison algorithm.
Clock Architecture
There are three models for the IEEE 1588 v2 clock architecture.
OC (Ordinary Clock): A clock that has a single IEEE 1588 v2 port and the clock needs to
be restored. It may serve as a source of time (master clock), or may synchronize to
another clock (slave clock).
BC (Boundary Clock): A clock that has multiple IEEE 1588 v2 ports and the clock needs
to be restored. It may serve as the source of time, (master clock), and may synchronize to
another clock (slave clock).
TC (Transparent Clock): A device that measures the time taken for a PTP event message
to transit the device and provides this information to clocks receiving this PTP event
message. That is, the clock device functions as an intermediate clock device to
transparently transmit the clock and process the delay, but does not restore the clock. It
can effectively deal with the accumulated error effects resulting from the master and
slave hierarchical architecture. In this manner, the TC ensures that the clock/time
synchronization precision meets the application requirement.
The TC is classified into peer-to-peer (P2P) TC and end-to-end (E2E) TC according to
the delay processing mechanism.
− P2P TC: When the PTP packets are transmitted to the P2P TC, the P2P TC corrects
both the residence time of the PTP packets and the transmission delay of the link
connected to the receive port. The P2P TC is mainly used in the MESH networking.
− E2E TC: When the PTP packets are transmitted to the E2E TC, the E2E TC corrects
only the residence time of the PTP packets. The E2E delay computation mechanism
between the master and slave clocks is adopted. The intermediate nodes do not
process the transmission delay but transparently transmit the PTP packets. The E2E
TC is mainly used in the chain networking.
OptiX OSN 8800 T32 and OptiX OSN 8800 T64 can support the OC, BC, TC, TC+OC, BC +
physical-layer clock, and TC+BC at present.

4 Network Application
Point-to-Point Network
A point-to-point network is the basic application. It is used for end-to-end service
transmission. The other networking modes are based on point-to-point networking mode,
which is the basic network. A point-to-point network is generally used to transmit common
voice services, private line data services, and storage services.
Chain Network
The chain network with OADM(s) is suitable for a scenario where wavelengths need to be
added/dropped and passed through. A chain network has similar service types as a
point-to-point network, but the chain network is more flexible than the point-to-point network.
It can be applicable not only to the point-to-point service but also applicable to the
convergence service and broadcast service dedicated for simple networking.
Ring Network
Network security and reliability are key factors that indicate the quality of the services
provided by network operators. Because of the high survivability, ring network is a dominant
networking mode in MAN DWDM network planning. The ring network has the widest
application range. It can be applicable to the point-to-point service, convergence service, and
broadcast service. It can diversify into complex network structures such as tangent rings,
intersecting rings, and ring with chain.
Mesh Network
A large number of nodes are connected by straight routes on a mesh network. Mesh networks
have no node bottleneck and ensure unblocked services through alternative routes during
equipment failure. In a mesh network, more than one route is available between two nodes.
Thus, the mesh network has high service transmission reliability, and the mesh topology is a
mainstream networking mode for ASON networks. The mesh networking features flexibility
and scalability. It is widely used in ASON networks.

WSS realizes colorless wavelength add/drop. Users can set the add/drop or pass-through state
of wavelengths on the NMS. In addition, the dynamic wavelength status can be adjusted
remotely and the services can be fast provisioned.
WSS supports the wavelength grooming in multiple directions and the multi-dimensional
ROADM structure. With WSS, the wavelength resources of multi-directional node on a ring
with chain or intersecting rings network are reconfigurable, as shown in Figure 4-3.

5.1 Overview
The ASON software provided by Huawei can be applied to the OptiX OSN series products to
support the evolution from traditional network to ASON network. It complies with the ITU
and IETF ASON/GMPLS-related standards.
capability. It supports end-to-end service configuration and the service level agreement
(SLA).
Service Configuration
Traditional WDM networks are generally chains and rings. The trails and timeslots of their
services are manually configured ring by ring and point by point, which consumes a lot of
time and effort. As networks become increasingly large and complicated, this service
configuration mode cannot meet the rapidly increasing user demands.
The ASON successfully solves this problem by end-to-end service configuration. To configure
a service, you only need to specify its source node, sink node, bandwidth requirement and
protection type; the network automatically performs the required operations.
Bandwidth Utilization
Traditional WDM optical transmission networks have a large amount of resources reserved
and lack advanced service protection, and the restore and routing functions. In contrast, with
the routing function the ASON can provide protection by reserving fewer resources, thus
increasing network resource utilization.
